    I hear they'll be releasing a version more targeted at Corporate IT - called the itPhone.

  3. Re:When I was a little kid on W3C Bars Public From Public Conference · · Score: 1

    Wow, that is my most moderated post of all time! Stop it! It's just a little joke - not worth your points!

    -1 offtopic
    +1 funny

    +1 underated
    -1 overrated
    And now -1 Troll!

    PC-BSD us a pretty friendly name, but I think I would have gone for uBSunDto.

  6. Father of the playstation? on Father of Sony Playstation Steps Down · · Score: 3, Funny

    So the first two kids turn out fine, there's problems with the delivery of the third and he's leaving!? Does that make him the Delinquent Dad of the PS?

  7. Go Redhat on Red Hat Rejects Microsoft Deals · · Score: 3, Funny

    You are David, MS is Goliath, your slingshot is GPL'd, Linus' rocks are... um lost it a bit there.

  8. When I was a little kid on W3C Bars Public From Public Conference · · Score: 0, Troll

    When I was a little kid I was confused about this private / public thing... maybe the W3C have the same problem? My misunderstanding came from a misreading/mishearing (I forget which) of this phrase: "public hair".

  9. Always quit while you're #1 on Yahoo Co-Founder Yang Now In Charge · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Always quit while you're #1 - from TFA: "Semel ranked No. 1 on The Associated Press' survey of 2006 executive compensation with $71.7 million (U.S.)"

    I'm guessing Yahoo's performance was not quite #1 though.

  10. Re:This has been available for a while on Ancestry.com To Add DNA Test Results · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They don't even have to get the data! They just have to take the DNA from the crime scene and submit it to this site... then whoever is closest related probably did it.

  11. Re:Yeah but... on Plan 9 Running on Blue Gene · · Score: 5, Funny

    Obviously it can - it is a supercomputer! (as long as you turn the Aero interface off of course).

  12. This has been available for a while on Ancestry.com To Add DNA Test Results · · Score: 5, Funny

    This has been available for a while at www.fbi.gov. Users can easily connect with and discover lost or unknown crimes they have committed, as well as gain insight into the legal system and prison food.

  13. Wow on Industry Insider Blasts Comcast · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm kind of shocked that anyone would shell out $2000 a year for TV. Is that common?

  14. Slashdot: Stuff that matters? on The Psychology of Fanboys · · Score: 1, Interesting
    Yeah, I know people can argue about which stuff matters.... but In This Case There Is No Stuff. Nothing. The Entire Article IS Ccompletely Empty Of Anything That Could POSSIBLY Be DEFINED As STUFF.

    Ah, that feels better.

    (Sorry for the random CAPS, the lameness filter told me "Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING.", well I was trying to yell, thank you very much).

    Whatever you think, your blow-up doll is not fooling anyone.

  16. Re:Convergence = good on Sony Ericsson Shows Off Feature-Heavy Cell Phones · · Score: 2, Funny

    There's lots of possible devices out there, with lots of functionality. Some functionality is very important to me, while other is nice to have but not really important. And the lack of "pocket real estate" - the amount of devices I am able and willing to carry - is a very powerful limiting factor.

    Just get a clip-on gadget utility belt and you'll never have a problem with lack of pocket space again.

    Repels women too.
  17. Re:I have to be misreading that on ISS Computer Failure · · Score: 1

    So the ISS is throwing a temper tantrum? Just put it in time out

    How very quaintly 20th century. Pharmaceuticals are the answer these days.

  18. Re:Do you know how much time that takes on 6 Burning Questions About Wireless Networks · · Score: 1
    First off for WPA to be useful they have to put a non default password on the router, that's not an easy job and will push up the price of the routers quite substantially.

    I dunno, they already burn a unique mac address into each one, and often print it on a sticker on the case too. Doing the same for a default password doesn't seem beyond the realm of possibility.

    I'd expect the extra support costs for doing the WPA setup would be the main problem.

  19. The glitch on CNBC Software Flaw Worth $1 Million? · · Score: 5, Informative
    Here's 'the glitch' if you don't want to wade through the article:

    If you made the selection before the close of regular trading at 4 p.m. EST and left your Web browser open, you could execute those trades after hours and still receive the 4 p.m. closing price. ..... The allegation is that certain traders may have used the technique with companies that were reporting earnings and other important news after the market's close. They could select as many as 50 stocks and then execute trades for only the one or two best performers.
  20. At last! on Massive Cave Found on Mars · · Score: 5, Funny

    At last we have the answer to the burning question: Is there a hole on mars?

  22. I haven't read TFA on Safemedia's CEO Tells Congress He Can Stop P2P · · Score: 4, Informative

    But as the URL is www.zeropaid.com/news/8825/Anti-piracy+company+ testifies+before+Congress+that+it+can+eliminate+P2 P+at+Universities I think the summary might have left out some important information.
